Watched Johnny Frasiers highlights and like what i see. beautiful side step,keeps the ball to the outside,keeps the tips of the football tucked in his elbow and palm. he catches the ball very nicely as well. The kid does not like to go down.

yeah, I don't like the year scholarship idea either. All you have to do to assure your scholarship for a full 4 years is maintain a C average in class. You don't have to work hard in practice or stay in shape. It's not an academic scholarship. If you get a scholarship for playing a sport, you should have to prove yourself worthy by putting forth the effort in that sport to keep that scholarship.

I think the coaches can take away a 4 year scholarship as quick as they can decide to not bring you back for a one year scholarship, smoke and mirrors if you as me...

The whole point to the 4 year scholarship is so the NCAA has an excuse to still call them student athletes. It's their way of fighting the idiotic notion of paying the players.

They are student-athletes regardless of whether their scholarship is 4 years or 1. And regardless of whether a player really wants to go to class or not. It's a requirement. If they want to play they have to make the grades.

The reason schools are offering the 4-year scholarships is to draw recruits to their school under the concept of "guaranteed" scholarship so long as I make a C average. That is not supposed to guarantee your ATHLETIC scholarship, it's just the bare minimum academic requirement that allows someone to be able to play an NCAA event. You have to earn your scholarship on the field as well, otherwise you would need a B average to keep your scholarship because without the athletic side it's nothing but and academic scholarship.

DL DJ Jones of East Mississippi JC plans to announce his college decision December 13th. He has had a top ten, in a particular order, since last month. But Jones said Sunday he's about to reshuffle the deck.

The current top ten for Jones, in order, is Tennessee, Alabama, Clemson, USC, Auburn, Southern Cal, Florida State, Ole Miss, Florida and Georgia. The Vols do remain the leader for now. Jones plans to have a final five by the start of his season.

Clemson and USC continue to do their work with the former Wren standout. He talked with Clemson recruiter Marion Hobby last week. "He was telling me some new stuff," Jones said. "He said there's a big gap waiting for me with guys leaving. They've got a spot waiting."

USC recruiter Deke Adams caught up with Jones Saturday. "He said after the dead period he want me to make it back there when more people are there," said Jones who was back in South Carolina last week and drove back to Scooba, MS Sunday night with teammates Dante Sawyer, a current USC commitment, and Chad Kelly, the former Clemson quarterback.

Jones will take an official visit to Florida State July 18th. A few days before that, he plans to return home and he expects to make unofficial visits to Clemson and USC then. He also plans to take an official visit to Tennessee.

East Mississippi, which won the JUCO national title last season, is ranked #1 in the pre-season by JCGridiron.com.
